I did come across an article which was _slightly_ more

than the others I've seen. It boiled down to "DVD+R is better
because the way it tracks the data stream and the error correction
were both improved" (or something like that). Naturally I now canot
find any trace of it. (Not that it went into sufficient depth,
it just scratched the surface a little deeper than the other
articles I've seen).
And yet, DVD-R has traditionally been recognized as more compatible with
set-top devices. So go figure :-)
However, the basic substrate tech is the same between DVD and CD so my
comment about more error correction is still valid.
